We're getting a little better at this whole 'brewing' thing - it's starting to become awesome fun now that one year down the line we've managed to nail our efficiency problems (not long enough in the mash) and a tipping point came 6 months ago when we both exclaimed, drinking one of our homebrews, that we'd actually prefer it to things we could get in the craft beer shop.
It's biased, i know, but i think we're doing well.
At any rate, we're venturing into brewing another recipe which is a revision of a revision - what was a Simcoe/Cascade IIPA is now a Cascade/Columbus IIPA. I'd welcome any notes on the recipe below as it is in the planning stages for a 2nd December brewdate:
